Instant Photoshop

HP cameras now have slimming feature. Instant Photoshop for all. See for yourself (via Street Life).
But what does it say about the state of our culture?
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Madrid Fashion Week organizers have banned models that were considered too thin, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) lower than 18, meaning someone 1.75m (5ft 9in) tall must weigh at least 56 kg (8st 11oz). Almost a third of the models lined up for the event have been barred!
